I agree that this is likely a race situation, with the pidfile being checked before it is created. My personal opinion would be that the pidfile checking should be turned off for sendmail, assuming that is possible. Here's a little background on those sendmail processes: "sendmail" should be started twice, presumably by systemd. It is started with different command line arguments on the two occasions. Process 17395 in that listing is the main sendmail process that creates the pid file in "/var/run" and handles all incoming mail. Process 17401 is a client queue manager to handle local command line email with less than root privileges. It queues mail in "/var/spool/clientmqueue" and it creates a separate pid file in that "clientmqueue" directory. It typically uses "/etc/mail/submit.cf" as its configuration file. And the default configuration is for it to start a persistent queue running, which is process 17402. If the persistent queue runner dies, then the queue control daemon (process 17401) will restart it. In particular, the three processes that you are seeing are normal and do not indicate a problem with the systemd startup. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
